Chapter 281 Xu You's Influence
If there is any breakthrough in high-temperature superconducting materials, Xu You will definitely contact Xing Shuping first.
But this time, although this material is a superconducting material, its application value does not lie in superconductivity.
Its superconducting critical temperature is only 3.7K, just slightly higher than absolute zero.
In areas such as power transmission, it has little application value.
It is not suitable to use the resources of the high-temperature superconducting materials project to conduct such material research.
As for asking Xu Zhou for help...
Xu You felt that there might be no need for it now.
After close communication with Schultz, a world-class materials expert.
Xu You believed that his abilities in many aspects were no worse than Xu Zhou's.
Thinking of this, Xu You decided to study this material .
Of course, the various experimental equipment in Xu You’s laboratory are currently mainly used to study condensed matter physics.
There is no ability to prepare materials.
But this time, Xu You didn't want to look for other schools to cooperate with.
With the existing capabilities of Jida Materials Laboratory, plus Xu You himself, they are fully capable of completing the preparation of this material.
After making a preliminary plan, Xu You found Cui Ying and explained his task to her.
"Teacher Cui, please help me apply to the school. I want to do a new project in the materials laboratory and need help from several teachers and students from the School of Materials. The project funding can be solved by our laboratory itself."
Not to mention the money Xu You himself has, which has already reached tens of millions.
When the school hired Xu You as a professor at Jida, in addition to setting up his own laboratory, the school also provided Xu You with tens of millions of supporting scientific research funds to support various scientific research work in Xu You's laboratory.
Xu You doesn't need to worry about the funding.
"Okay, Mr. Xu, I'll help you apply right away."
With Cui Ying as an assistant, Xu You really saved himself a lot of trouble.
In the past, Xu You had to do even trivial matters like project applications himself.
It was okay when he was not a university teacher. Xu You still had enough energy to do work like project applications.
But when Xu You became a university teacher, scientific research and teaching alone took up most of Xu You's time and energy.
In order to maintain a good working state, Xu You must leave himself enough time to relax.
Fortunately, there is a hardworking and capable assistant like Cui Ying who helps Xu You share a lot of work pressure.
Cui Ying is very efficient. Within a few days, she helped Xu You complete the project application work.
Of course, in addition to Cui Ying's efficiency, Xu You's identity is a more important factor.
If it were someone else, let alone applying for a cross-laboratory project, even if it was just an ordinary project, it might take weeks or even months to go through the entire process.
The school not only immediately arranged a laboratory for Xu You, but also took the initiative to provide project funding support, allowing Xu You to carry out this new project with confidence.
Xu You, the Nobel Prize winner in physics, has brought more positive influence to Jilin University than just some scientific research results.
It also includes domestic and international influence.
Xu You's deeds have made more outstanding students want to apply to Ji University.
The admission score of Ji University has been increasing continuously in the past two years, even much higher than that of Jinghua University, and it is showing a trend of becoming a unique university in China.
After completing the project application, Xu You asked Cui Ying to help contact the teachers from the School of Materials Science and Engineering of Jilin University to arrange a kick-off meeting.
When it was time for the opening meeting, Xu You and several teachers from the School of Materials Science and Engineering gathered in a conference room.
These teachers are not too old. I don’t know if it is because the teachers at the School of Materials Science and Engineering of Ji University are relatively young, or if the school specially arranged a few young teachers for Xu You.
Through conversations with them, Xu You had a good impression of them.
By the way, although Xu You had complained before that Jida's engineering was relatively weak, it was only slightly weaker when compared with schools of the same level as Jinghua University and University of Science and Technology of China.
In the whole country, its academic strength is definitely first-class.
In recent years, Jida has invested heavily in engineering, hoping that Jida can become a more comprehensive school.
As these young teachers grow, this wish will be realized little by little.
"Regarding the preparation of this new material, I plan to try several methods, including hot pressing, chemical vapor deposition, and melt growth. Because this is an unknown new material, there will definitely be many difficulties in preparation, so we must be mentally prepared in advance."
"Don't worry, Mr. Xu, it's our honor to be able to participate in your project. We will do our best to help you complete this project."
These teachers were very excited when they learned that they could participate in Xu You's project.
Being able to work with a Nobel Prize winner in physics was something they had never dared to imagine before.
After the research work began, Xu You would often come to the materials laboratory to communicate with everyone, and if there was enough time, he would also directly participate in the experiment.
Through constant contact with Xu You, they discovered that Xu You was not only good at condensed matter physics, but also a materials expert.
Xu You's understanding of some material knowledge is even more advanced than that of these materials professional teachers.
This made them admire Xu You even more.
Of course, because this material is a new and unknown material, the preparation process will not be so smooth.
The first stage of the attempt ended in failure.
However, neither Xu You nor the teachers were discouraged by this, as it was all expected.
After summarizing the experience, everyone started a new phase of experiments.
…
Although there has been no substantial breakthrough in the preparation of new nickel-cobalt-manganese-lithium alloy materials.
But during this period, significant progress has been made in the field of Lyocell fiber materials.
Xu You arranged for Cui Ying to contact Qi Zhiliang of Modu Textile and invited Qi Zhiliang to come to Jida to have a detailed discussion .
When Qi Zhiliang learned the news, he was very excited and booked a flight to Jijing overnight.
When they arrived at Ji University, Qi Zhiliang and Xu You met in the reception room.
"Professor Xu, has the project made any major breakthroughs?"
“Yes, we have made significant progress in testing to reduce the fibrillation of Lyocell fiber materials. If all goes well, this technology will be applied to future textile processes.”
After receiving Xu You's affirmative answer, Qi Zhiliang was so excited that his breathing became a little unstable.
Nearly twenty years have passed since the Group began research on Lyocell fiber materials.
